The Incas in South America grew
potatoes for thousands of years before the
Spanish arrived. The potato was the main
part of their diet and culture. The Incas
measured time by how long it took to cook
potatoes. They also used potatoes to tell their
fortune. If they found an odd number of
potatoes, it was bad luck. If they found an
even number, it was good luck.

Exercise 4
We all know that Muslims don’t eat pork, but many people don’t know that in Pakistan
they never offer beef to an important guest. Beef is cheap and easily available, so a Pakistani
would never offer a guest something as common as steak. Instead, he or she would serve leg of
lamb
as an appetizer and chicken, or fish as a
main course.
